About this book
A searchlight sweeping the St. Lawrence catches Jessie Bain waving from a dock, and Hubert Varrick cannot forget her face. He is travelling to marry Gerelda Northrup, a wealthy woman whose friendship with Captain Frazier feeds his jealousy. When Hubert later finds Jessie stranded on an island, their conversation reveals the harsh treatment she faces in her uncle's household.
Laura Jean Libbey's romance places sudden attachments and wounded pride among river steamers, summer hotels and village cottages. A later passage follows Jessie as she cares for Margaret Moore, a woman whose memory is troubled and whose gratitude becomes an important bond. The frozen river supplies another moment of danger when Jessie's canary escapes.
